  Abstract: Aluminum-Silicon Carbide Metal Matrix Composites (Al/SiC MMCs) represent advanced materials created through the integration of aluminum matrices with silicon carbide particle reinforcement. These composites demonstrate superior characteristics compared to conventional aluminum alloys, establishing their relevance across diverse engineering applications. This experimental investigation focuses on developing composites using aluminum as the base matrix while incorporating SiC particles (40-50μm particle size) as reinforcing agents. The reinforcement content was systematically varied from 3 …
